You can get to and win a Super Bowl with Flacco. He's not Elite and never will be. He is inconsistent but it's a rare QB in the NFL who isn't. Eli Manning, Rivers, Dalton, Romo, Ryan, Cutler, Stafford, Wilson...all are inconsistent. There's a ton who are way worse than Joe. It's a team sport....you win in 3 phases: offense, defense and special teams. The Ravens have been hit with serious injuries on the defense. They have been giving up a ton of yards, giving up leads, losing field position and time of possesion...all this hurts the offense. They are pulling guys off special teams to fill the voids. The offense is healthy so they have no excuse but they defended themselves better than anybody can by not using the best fullback and RB in the NFL. They are the unit who is dragging ass. It's not just Joe. It's all of them...Cam and Harbaugh too. Joe threw 4 bombs to Torry...all incomplete and that is a wasted down which leads to 3rd and long and against a good D like the Steelers that spells trouble. It was...only 3 of 11 3rd down conversions. But it was the D that made Batch look 15 years younger. The D. FYI: If the Ravens were in the NFC they'd have the second best record in that conference. Most teams have been inconsistent this year. We just happen to mainly watch the Ravens but there are a lot of 7-5 and 5-7 teams who's fans are going just as crazy as we are. It's called ADVERSITY guys. That's what this team is going through because of injuries, age for Ray and Ed, and not enough depth to get the job done. No pass rushers. It's patched up everywhere. So what to you do with this mess? YOU COACH. The winning coaches, the best coaches,... create the game plans and schemes to win with whoever they have even if it's the last man standing.
